Riot is a bit of an oversell, there are conflicting reports of what happened opening night including reports of prominent guests storming out and then later Stravinsky himself saying that's not possible because they weren't there to begin with. A reporter said the man next to him began to violently beat himself over the head but it later turned out that he wasn't even there opening night he was there for the second night. The claim of a riot on opening night was not even published until nearly a decade later.

Really great, except for the glaringly false statement you can hear Stravinsky's influence in modern jazz's rhythms. Jazz rhythm is rooted in African-American musical practices reaching centuries back before Stravinsky. It first appeared in commercial form in ragtime in the late 1890s, then in jazz and blues shortly thereafter. Those early jazz musicians living in New Orleans knew nothing of Stravinsky; anyway the Rite wasn't performed in the US until 1920, in Philadelphia.

The Rite of Spring was famously used as reference music to Star Wars by George Lucas and ultimately repurposed by John Williams for use on the Jawa sandcrawler/desert scene

Anyone else triggered about how they drew the pointe shoe ribbons?
Edit: Never mind. Just watched the opening, and that's actually how they tied the ribbons.

There's so much wrong with this talk, I can't. The history isn't entirely wrong but the explanation of the music is clearly not done by a musician.

Atonality, harshness, irregular rhythm, controversial subject matters? This ballot seems to have been a precursor to heavy metal music.

If you can manipulate the psychology of your audience enough to cause them to start fighting each other. You deserve a medal.
